Change the iTunes 10 close/minimize/maximize buttons back to horizontal

I’m liking iTunes 10 but I can’t say I’m a fan of the vertical control buttons, which some are calling ‘traffic lights’ since well, it resembles traffic lights. Sure it saves space but it breaks away from the standardized UI convention. Thankfully we can change back to the classic horizontal buttons without much effort.

If you want to get the classic horizontal close/minimize/maximize buttons back in iTunes 10, type the following into the Terminal and relaunch the iTunes app:defaults write com.apple.iTunes full-window -1 If this gives you trouble try this command for the same effect: defaults write com.apple.iTunes full-window -boolean YES

If you want to reverse the changes back to the newer iTunes 10 style vertical buttons, use this:defaults write com.apple.iTunes full-window -0 or defaults write com.apple.iTunes full-window -boolean NO

Again you just need to quit and reopen iTunes 10 for the changes to take effect.

It’s not really so terrible if you use the mini-player appearance which has always had that orientation for the traffic-signal and makes it easier for those of us who use the mini-player to switch back and forth.

Not only that isn’t terrible kind of dramatic? I mean inconvenient, new, different, all are really more descriptive, and closer to the real value of the change.

You might want to know 10 removes all itunes related automator workflows and actions. so you can forget about using automator for batch imports, tagging or any other kind of managing your library until they fix it

Is there a way to change the fonts back to the same ones as in iTunes 9. When I say I mean the fonts of the songs in my library. The fonts used in iTunes 9 were really classy and as a result the spacing between two lines was really nice.
